Soup Sweet Soup

Homestyle Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Serves 2-4

Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene.If you have a healthy digestive track and include healthy fats in your diet, like extra virgin olive oil, your body can convert some of the beta-carotene found in sweet potatoes into vitamin A. Vitamin A promotes immune system strength, a healthy digestive tract lining, optimal vision, and healthy skin.Vitamin C and beta-carotene are both powerful antioxidants that can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and various types of cancer.You’ll also get micronutrients like magnesium, vitamin B6, potassium, iron, and fiber from sweet potatoes.

Yum! This one is a keeper! Our family enjoyed this soup last night... it was unexpectedly rich! As in creamy delicious... without the dairy!

I like to add, that my kids aren't quite use to soups without chunks of veggies and meat... so they had some pretty interesting baby comments about how it looked, know what I'm saying? I told them that if it was a melted candybar on a diaper (clean one of course) they'd eat it!

OMG! Thank you as always Tony. I have been a junk food vegan for eight years and never knew how fabulous veggies are by themselves til I got with the X! I made a batch of this soup and it was so good I had it for all my lunches for the week as well. I am making another batch this weekend. I'm kinda hooked on it now. Thanks again & please keep em coming! :)
